It was predictable that the stock market would try to bore us to death this week, presumably by wafting moderately higher on each successive day. Instead, we’ve seen the broad averages go nowhere, head-butting the record highs set ten days ago without showing enough pluck to impale them.  Are DaBoyz saving their short-squeeze ammo for 2018? Seems like a safe bet, since it’s hard to imagine the smart money starting the new year with a thud — especially considering how revved up Wall Street and the financial news media have been in recent weeks. All systems are go, it would seem, and what could possibly go wrong?
